PROVO — In an emphatic 49-23 victory over Hawaii last Saturday at LaVell Edwards Stadium, BYU snapped a two-game losing streak and played with a physical identity that coach Kalani Sitake has hoped to instill in his team — something that had been missing the two previous weeks.
“We came out with an edge to us, a chip on our shoulder. That’s how you’ve got to play on defense. You’ve got to have a hunger to you. It was amazing to see all the guys respond to that,” said defensive lineman Corbin Kaufusi, who had eight tackles, two sacks and two tackles-for-loss.
